I love the architecture of the written word…its beauty, its ugliness, its soul. I write to release the inner voices.

In a FANTASY LIFE…I am a guitar player with a soulful voice that loves to sing in lounges, dive bars, and pubs. I have an encyclopediac knowledge of the film industry and swoon over the Wachowski brothers, Keanu Reeves, and movies made from Marvel comics. My boyfriend is a biker with a soft-side who reads classic literature, loves my poetry and paints on canvas things so beautiful I weep. He sings made-up corny lyrics to old melodies in the morning while I growl for my 1st cup of coffee. He “experiments” in the kitchen and has a mutt from the pound named Sugar. He dances when nobody is looking. I write him love letters in Latin and he spends a week deciphering them. When we do nothing but sit on the couch together he always has my body cupped under his arm and, every now and again, bends down to kiss the top of my head.

Enuf of that. Read. Comment. Carry on.
